It’s funny how my Business category is regularly much bigger than my Work category used to be, and it still feels like a manageable load. Maybe it’s because only part of the Business category feels like work-work – the billable consulting I do. There’s paperwork, but it’s rather like dealing with all the admin issues. Planning is fun, and so is tinkering around with Quantified Awesome or researching other ways to improve how I work.

W- has been in crunch mode because his team is working on making a target date, but things should ease up a little over the next few weeks. Me, I’ve been ramping up my writing. I’ve read through all the posts in my archive and rated them. Now I’m going to work on pulling the rated items out and copying them into a draft e-book, maybe using Scrivener or Sigil. It’ll be nice to put that together.

The summer solstice is approaching. Shorter days from then on! That’s okay, I think I’m getting the hang of this…
